This familiar sign is found in the resort town of Lake Tahoe, CA. The Carriage House Inn is one of the remaining roadside lodging areas that still feature a good roadside sign that also lights with neon. Check out the buggy on this sign. 12-10

Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento used to be home to a treasure trove of old roadside signage. Unfortunately, most of the signs have been removed either due to the properties being redeveloped or just the signage being replaced.

To the far left is a shot of the Sand's Motel sign before it was replaced by backlit plastic in the late 1990's.

Here's another motel found off of Auburn Blvd. in Sacramento. Unlike the Sands and some of the other motel signage that has disappeared, this Surf Motelsign has looked this way for at least the past decade. 07-11
